A friend of mine who is close to the Trump campaign:
"Trump's campaign is in chaos and panic mode. I've never seen them this frustrated before. It's bad. Harris' social media team is killing it, and the Trump camp isn't sure how to handle it. J.D. Vance is turning out to be worse than Dan Quayle and Sarah Palin combined."

One of the worst things about social media is the idea that everyone should have a strong opinion about everything. I wish we'd see more people responding to more things with: "I don't know," "I am not an expert," "I have no idea," or "Why are you asking me?" That'd be a relief.
